So according to that hidden signage pictured above, the now refurbed building at 349 14th Street is getting some new life. Long the home of the nationally known alliterati Kool Korners, a Cuban sandwich shop and grocery, Moe’s Original Barbecue is set to open in the not too distant future. It seems that the owners of the property have tried to bogart some of the Kool Korners’ fame by naming the intersection of State & 14th after the departed, so don’t think the Ramirez’s are returning from their Birmingham sabbatical. Moe’s is actually a chain and one that I’ve visited several times during my time in Vail. According to ToneToATL (who had this story some time ago), it seems that the owners were hoping for a January 20th opening … needless to say that didn’t happen.
Glad to see you posting again. Life isn’t the same if “Da Buddha” isn’t cruising for the newest.
FnS.
The Atlanta location is now looking at a March opening due to weather and construction delays….but we’ll me Comin’ in HOT!

thanks for the update!
The original Kool Korners building that Mr. Ramirez operated out of . . . Was that also the location of Lester’s Grill? If so, it was a store/diner and Lester Maddox’s first restaurant venture opened in 1945, two years before he opened the Pickrick.
